  • 3 Alternatives Considered
    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Environmental Statement Part A: The Scheme 3 Alternatives Considered 3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 This chapter provides an outline of the development of the AWPR including an overview of the assessment work that has been undertaken in the selection of a preferred route and a summary of the objectives of the proposed scheme. 3.2 Background 3.2.1 As described in Chapter 2 (Need for the Scheme), a peripheral route around Aberdeen has been considered since the 1950s, and in the 1990s a western leg route corridor was proposed (the Western Peripheral Route; WPR). The WPR as identified by Grampian Regional Council and its successor authorities was subsequently extended to link with the A90 north of Aberdeen by NESTRANS. The route corridor comprising the WPR and this additional link was named the AWPR and in April 2003 was adopted and promoted by the Scottish Executive as a Trunk Road within a funding partnership of the Scottish Executive, Aberdeen City Council, and Aberdeenshire Council. 3.2.2 The AWPR was refined within this corridor from April 2003 until December 2004, when Transport Scotland requested that consideration be given to additional corridors. In December 2005, following consideration of the alternative corridors, including public consultation held in Spring 2005, the Minister for Transport announced that the AWPR would be taken forward on the Milltimber Brae Route with a Fastlink to Stonehaven. 3.2.3 Various options have been considered at each of the stages described above. The option consideration process included production of many reports and papers that set out the engineering, economic and environmental advantages and disadvantages of alternative routes and corridors.

    Portlethen Moss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 4 Portlethen Moss NFrom, 2°8′50.68 Wikipedia,″W (http://kvaleberg.com/extensions/mapsources the free encyclopedia /index.php?params=57_3_27.04_N_2_8_50.68_W_region:GB) The Portlethen Moss is an acidic bog nature reserve in the coastal Grampian region in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Like other mosses, this wetland area supports a variety of plant and animal species, even though it has been subject to certain development and agricultural degradation pressures. For example, the Great Crested Newt was found here prior to the expansion of the town of Portlethen. Many acid loving vegetative species are found in Portlethen Moss, and the habitat is monitored by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. True heather, a common plant on the The Portlethen Moss is the location of considerable prehistoric, Portlethen Moss Middle Ages and seventeenth century history, largely due to a ridge through the bog which was the route of early travellers. By at least the Middle Ages this route was more formally constructed with raised stonework and called the Causey Mounth. Without this roadway, travel through the Portlethen Moss and several nearby bogs would have been impossible between Aberdeen and coastal points to the south. Contents 1 History 2 Conservation status 3 Topography and meteorology 4 Evolution of Portlethen Moss 5 Vegetation 6 Relation to other mosses 7 References 8 See also History Prehistoric man inhabited the Portlethen Moss area as evidenced by well preserved Iron Age stone circles and other excavated artefacts nearby [1]. Obviously only the outcrops and ridge areas would have been habitable, but the desirability of primitive habitation would have been enhanced by proximity to the sea and natural defensive protection of the moss to impede intruders.

  • Welcome to Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire
    WELCOME TO ABERDEEN & ABERDEENSHIRE www.visitabdn.com @visitabdn | #visitABDN Film locations on the coast ITINERARY With its vast mountainous landscapes and outstanding coastlines, quaint fishing villages and fairytale castles, this part of Scotland has inspired world-famous story tellers and filmmakers. We've pulled together a two day itinerary to help you make the most of your 'stage and screen' trip to Aberdeenshire: Portsoy - Whisky Galore! (2016) Portsoy is a popular village thanks to its vibrant trademark boat festival and picturesque 17th century harbour, but that's not all. In 2016, Whisky Galore! was filmed on location in Portsoy. The film tells the true story of an incident that took place on the island of Eriskay when the SS Politician ran aground with a cargo including 28,000 cases of malt whisky starring James Cosmo and Eddie Izzard. Pennan - Whisky Galore! (2016) & Local Hero (1983) Whisky Galore! also filmed along the coastline in Pennan too and this wasn't the first time Pennan has shot to fame. Local Hero starring Burt Lancaster and Peter Capaldi, tells the story of an American oil executive who is sent to a remote Scottish village to acquire the village to convert it into a refinery. The film was filmed in Pennan and Banff and the red phonebox is one of the most famous in the world and can still be found in Pennan. Slains Castle - The Crown (2016 - ) & Dracula (1897) No trip to Aberdeenshire would be complete for fans of the Netflix show The Crown without a trip to Slains Castle on the coast of Cruden Bay.

  • Meikle Carewe Wind Farm Community Fund RES Has Established A
    Meikle Carewe Wind Farm Community Fund RES has established a community fund which will see more than £20,500 available to support local community projects every year during the lifetime of the Meikle Carewe Wind Farm. The fund is administered by Kincardine & Mearns Area Partnership (KMAP), and managed by a decision making panel made up of members of the local Community Councils in the area covered by the fund. The community fund is open to applications from groups and projects which benefit the communities living in the following Community Council areas: Crathes, Drumoak & Durris Newtonhill, Muchalls & Cammachmore North Kincardine Rural Portlethen & District Stonehaven & District The first round of the fund opened for applications on 1st September 2013 for a three month period, closing 30th November 2013. A total of 29 applications were received in this period, requests for funding which met the funding criteria totalling £58,187.53 (see appendix 1; funding per Community Council area, appendix 2; total funding applications). Applications were distributed to the Decision Making Panel members for consideration prior to the Decision Making Panel meeting on Monday 16th December 2013. Applications which met criteria of the fund were broken down into the geographic areas. There was an aspiration to split 75% of the fund equally between the five Community Council areas, if applications meeting the criteria were received to enable that to happen. This year the fund was distributed between only four of the Community Council areas as there were no applications from Portlethen & District which fully met the funding criteria. All applicants were informed by letter of the outcome of their funding application.
